Movie: Emo Gurram Egaravachu
( 2014 ) - ఏమో గుర్రం ఎగురవచ్చు
Music: MM Keeravani
Director: Chandra Siddhartha
Producer(s): Pudhota Sudheer Kumar
Cast: Sumanth, Savika Chaiyadej
Sumanth's latest movie titled
"Emo Gurram Egaravachu" is said to be a romantic comedy. He has been
low at box-office after two below average movies Raaj and daggaraga dooramgaa.
His latest movie is with sensible director Chandra Sidhartha ( Aa naluguru fame
) who earlier made a movie with Sumanth called Madhumasam which was a run away
hit. Hope this combination brings in another hit to either of them. Sumanth is
seen in a female getup which is been quite a while in Telugu movies. The female
lead Pinky Chaiyadej is a Thai actress/singer/model.
This movies takes credit of
release a telugu movie first time in Bangkok. MM keeravani composed music for
this movie. No introduction is necessary for this name. He is not seen much
these days, and its good to see his name again for a non family commercial
movie. Chaitanya prasad got major share in lyrics and Keeravani helped writing
the rest. Singers are from his standard team. Nothing good/bad surprises. Emo
Gurram egaravachu is a phrase that is quite common in Andhra Pradesh. Having
this as a title to movie shows what the director is about. Hope this movie made
good songs, lets listen and see how they fared.
1. Neelavenini yedipinchina bullabbai
Lyricist : Chaithanya Prasad
Singer : Rahul Sipligunj
Typical Keeravani start of a
song. Nice tune to start the album and a song after Vel signature tune. Song
slowly picks up the rhythm and instruments add to the song. Interludes are
perfect sync with the melody and sets up the mood of the song. Chaitanya Prasad
wrote some decent lyrics. Keeravani known for best usage of violin does it
again in interlude. However this song doesnt sound fresh, remind earlier songs
of Keeravani. The only weakest link is Rahul. నువ్వు ఏడూ మల్లెల ఎత్తు అని ఇష్టం గా మొయ్యన,
Keeravani should have taken care of not sounding as "నువ్వు ఏడూ"
then the rest. Somehow this song though well made doesn't hit the right chord
with listener. Appears something missing.
2. Bharatam pattina naatyam
Lyricist : Chaithanya Prasad
Singer : Rahul Sipligunj
Is this song with Sumanth in female getup? Rahul singing in different tones could be the reason.Another standard feel good song from Keeravani. He made it quite simple and yet got what he want. Chorus, instuments, singer, all helped him in the process. Chiaitanya Prasad didnt go overboard in writing this song, except for couple of words here and there which should be fine. This song should get help on screen. Overall a nice song that can be enjoyed.
3. Salahaalivvoddu
Lyricist : Chaithanya Prasad
Singer : Prudhivi Chandra
keeravani comes up with another
signature tune added with satirical lyrics from Chaitanya prasad makes this
song good to listen. Prudhivi Chandra did a decent job in singing this song.
Bullabbayi ki salahaalivvodu sounds very good. The song has energy, satire and
rhythm, added by good interludes, this song comes out from Keeravani's storage
box to be well received. Chorus did really good.
4. Bull boy.. What's ur
problem.?
Lyricist(s): Prudhivi Chandra,
MM Keeravaani
Singer : Ramya Behara
Bullabbayi becomes Bull Boy?? Though the start of the song reminds many other songs, Ramya behara surprises us with her voice modulation. Then after though the tunes are nothing refreshing, she makes a clear mark. Her accent could be demanded by Keeravani. There are some issues in terms of the breaking up the words that sounds different, kattu baatlanni, sounds like cats bats. Ramya is the difference in the song else, it’s nothing much in terms of lyrics and tune.
5. Maid in India
Lyricist : Chaithanya Prasad
Singer : Ramya Behara
Ramya sounds so different in
this song that is made up from different songs. Chaitanya Prasad who so far
wrote some decent lyrics I guess ran out of imagination or words should have
avoided writing some lines like వంగ దీసి గుద్దిన for
other than nice song. This is the issue with current generation, they lack
consistency. Keervani picked up nice tunes. Ramya again did an excellent job.
6. Bullabbaayini yedipinchina neelaveni
Lyricist : MM Keeravaani
Singer : Revanth
Revanth is always part of the
team Keeravani has. He started off well in this extension song of pathos for
the song #1 Neelaveni. He strained on higher notes, but other wise this
rendering is good. He got the feel and energy. Violin again played major role.
Not a standard length song, but Revanth did decent job.
7. Yennisaarlaina
Lyricist : MM Keeravaani
Singer(s) : Ramya Behara,
Yamini
Seems like this movie entirely
revolves around bullabbayi. Keeravani this time chose a different path to
compose this song. Since he wrote and composed the song, both go hand in hand
unlike other songs. Again one more short length song, but singers make it good
to listen.
8. Boorela buttaloo padda gurram
Lyricist : MM Keeravaani
Singer(s) : Rahul Sipligunj, Prudhivi Chandra, Ramya Behara,
Revanth, Yamini & more
Title song. Yemo gurram
egaravachu is all that was in this song that is less than half a minute. By the
time the song is felt this is complete. May be the signature tune of the movie.
Whatever it is it sounded very well. Normally titles of the song are first two
words of the song, quite interestingly the titles and songs are different.
Definitely a good experiment of Chandra Sidhartha.
Pick{s} of the album: This is a feel good album. Every song has
something to offer.
Keeravani lately has been
limited to his family owned movies or devotional albums or some entirely
different genres that others cannot offer music to those movies. His last major
movie that doesnt fall into the above categories is Dammu. This shows how he
has cut down movies or no one is offering him movies. This album is a nice feel
good album which goes steady with few melodies and some interesting songs.
The only issue and impact that
even this album has is that changing tunes are changing telugu words all
togather. When music directors like Keeravani himself cannot avoid, this is
very difficult for others. Chaitanya Prasad could have been more consistent. Ramya was
a surprise. Other singers did decent job, but could have done better. Chandra
Sidhartha once again proved why he is sensible director. All the best for the
movie.
